Everything in 

 nature is related 

 to everything 



else. 



People are an integral 

 part of the scheme of 

 things. That's why it's 

 important to understand 

 the cycles of nature, the 

 ebbs and flows of mech- 

 anisms that have repeated 

 themselves for millions of 

 years. 



This month, Coastwatch 

 takes a look at one of these 

 processes — the annual winter 

 migration of infant fish from 

 the warm waters of the Gulf 

 Stream into North Carolina's 

 estuaries. 



We examine the estuaries and 

 explore how they work in the 

 natural scheme. We also look at 

 man's influence on this fragile 

 coastal process.
